The club is operated jointly by the Army and Navy Department of the YMCA, which is the operating agency, and tbe National Board of the YWCA., both of which are par– ticipating agencies in the National USO set-up. Since September, 1944, the door count has approximated 900,000 people.

SHAM BATTLE Three days before Lincoln's Birthday the Senate of the United States pushed the bill for a Fair Employment Practices Commission off the calendar by refusing to vote for clotury,to shut off the fili buster.

Mr. Roover spoke in New York and did not mention FEPC or the Negro.. Mr. Stassen spoke in Boston and likewise found other items to discuss.. Senator Robert A. Taft spoke in Kansas City and passed up FEPC. and the Negro. Senator Wallace H. White of Maine, Republican leader in the Senate, is not recorded as having spoken anywhere but he did not have do to so. H said his piece on FEPC' just before it was killed, declaring he was against it because it was unconstitutional anyway and would stir up more prejudice than it would cure. One would never suspect, from these speeches, that the Repub– lican party promised in its 1944 platform to enact FEPC legislation. It does not take very keen insight and no "inside" information to arrive at the conclusio that the "battle" over FEPC from Jauary 17 through February 9, except on the part of a few senators of both parties, was pr-:.!tY much of a sham battle. The Democrats have little cause for boasting over their part in the fiasco. Obviously both' the Democrats and the Republicans in this election year weres triving to make a record with– out actually passing this bill or any similar to it. Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexico carried the brunt of the fight and, in our opinion, was s_incere every step of the way." The other cheerful news 1s that 48 votes were se– cured for cloture, a record numbr. The fight for FEPC is just beginning. The next step is to secure the 218 signatures on Discharge Petition No. 4 in the House and bring the bill out of committee for a vote. The bill can be passed in the House if it gets to the floor for House rules do not permit a filibuster-and every m~mber of the House is up for election next fall. If the political chenanigans continue, the voters will un– derstand what to do in November. threaten a recrudescence of mob ing agreement has long been seen, violence which ca"U only be check- bas infuriated many American ed by federal legislation. We ask citizens, particularly those of a the Committee to go on record and minority like the Negro, because to implement such pledge by sup- d of the opposition of that coalition port of cloture in the Senate an the signing of the discharge pe– tition in the House. "(3) The. Anti-Poll Tax Bill. The UTiited States is vigorously sup· porting democratic elections in Bulgaria and Japan while Amer– ican citizens, Negro and white, are denied the right to vote here in the United States. This is a most extraordinary and hypocritical CO'U· tradiction. Republican votes for cloture can bring about the pas– sage of the anti-poll tax bill with– in the next few weeks. Will the Republican National Committee see that these votes are forthcoming? " (4) Housing. AmericaTis of all races and all sections of the country desperately need housing. A fantastically financed lobby of real estate interests is bringing pressurJ; to bear on the Congress against housing legislation. Many of the Republican Senators and Congressmen, as well as those on the other side of the aisle, have given evidence of yieldi"Ug to that pressure. We ask the Republican National Committee to repudiate this lobby and to put forth every possible effort for the immediate enactment of such legislation. "(5) The recent public an– nouncement of a coalitio-n in the Congress between conservative Re- to legislation desperately needed for alleviation of suffering caused by job discrimination, disfrran· chisement, mob violence and lao'!: of housing. We ash. th" ltovub– lican National Committee to re– pudiate this coalition without equivocation. "The position take"U by the Re– publican National Committee on these issues will profoundly affect the decisions made in 1946 and 1948 by many Americans, but par– ticularly by Negro citizens." FLASH!
